Submit To The Father Of Our Spirits And Live – Outline
This sermon was preached on Fathers Day. Like God, we need to be a spiritual “father” to others. It can have a great impact on people. First and foremost, we need to honor our Father in heaven. The world is deprived of spiritual parenting. That’s what Jesus’ disciples are called to do.
Christianity can be described as the journey from selfishness to selflessness! To follow Christ is to learn to be a giver and not a taker; learning to live a life of selflessness!
Mark 8:31-9:1
Here Jesus predicts His death for the first time.
Peter rebukes Jesus for this.
Jesus rebukes Peter for not having in mind the things of God, but the things of men.
When we have in mind the things of men, we become selfish.
Jesus makes it clear that His goal is to lay his life down and challenges anyone that follows Him to lay their life down (take up their cross) also; to learn to be a giver.
On August 14th-16th, 2009, campus students, teens and young singles are invited to become a Spiritual Apprentice.
“Follow me as I follow Christ” is the motto for this faithful and fun summer retreat.
